10.19.21 | list is ranked in increasing order of *embarrassment* not quality you have been informed
uh, it is official. thanx garas for the extra help |
sixdegrees
10.19.21 | you forgot to post this as a staff blog |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.19.21 | i acc didn't but was halfway through making the list when the thought occurred. wait til the end of the yr ig |
Gnocchi
10.19.21 | So how is this rated? 65 = best and 1 = worst. Also Johnny takes on metal albums are both collectively the worst and accurate |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.19.21 | list is ranked in increasing order of *embarrassment* not quality you have been informed ! |
Dewinged
10.19.21 | top tier list
(Johnny I got 2 bags of dried manta ray for my bday, guess from who) |
Gnocchi
10.19.21 | Will you add more BNM entries as they happen? Asking for a friend |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.19.21 | omg yessss how much of it have you eaten and how many beers will it require
and no but maybe there will be another list for christmas or maybe no |
Dewinged
10.19.21 | 10 days eating, still haven't finished the first bag. Can't drink alcohol now because of dem meds but I've been getting on that 0.5 asahi and it's been a good replacement so far. |
garas
10.19.21 | That comment on that Kauan album takes the trophy, wellllll done. A feature doesn't offer enough, this should be pinned somewhere. |
garas
10.19.21 | > Can't drink alcohol now ... but getting on that 0.5 asahi
Yeah, that is more of a slightly beer-flavoured carbonated water, so that checks out. |
Trifolium
10.19.21 | 64 and 44 are nice!
|
dedex
10.19.21 | i forgot some of these even came out this year |
Sinternet
10.19.21 | i dont get this list but gj |
Pheromone
10.19.21 | where is dry cleaning |
Dewinged
10.19.21 | "Yeah, that is more of a slightly beer-flavoured carbonated water, so that checks out." I tell u garasbro, it tastes surprisingly good. |
Pangea
10.19.21 | great list johnny. this is a great overview of the BNM that i have yet to check or yet to ignore
appreciate the garas intermissions too (glad to see you more on the Tenhi train!)
|
Pangea
10.19.21 | the antlers comment is perfect lol |
garas
10.19.21 | I know Asahi beer, Dewi. It's not that good. (Maybe the EU Asahi is worse.) |
combustion07
10.19.21 | List has given me a list of stuff to jam. Time to get embarrassed!!! |
kkarron
10.19.21 | Music fucking sucks anyway. |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.19.21 | everything i've heard from 65 to 45 is definitely worth jamming (plus Dale Kerrigan !) even though this is not a quality ranking!!!! |
Muzz79
10.19.21 | Where's Wizardthrone's Hypercube Necrodimensions? |
Trifolium
10.19.21 | OMG go check 44 then!!!!! |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.19.21 | 44 is ok but not quite great wish it was worse so I could be mean about it |
Kompys2000
10.19.21 | List is almost good enough to justify the memeing of Music of the Spheres onto BNM gj gj
Also hey that James McMurtry album is pretty good, don't know if anyone itt would vibe with it but yeah it deserved bnm |
MiloRuggles
10.19.21 | Stunning list big pos. Very happy (perhaps surprised) that the various hills I'm planning on dieing on come list time have thicc numbers beside them |
gravityswitch
10.19.21 | fuck is this |
Demon of the Fall
10.19.21 | I enjoyed this, especially the parts that don't make sense. I (don't) get it. |
Demon of the Fall
10.19.21 | 10. is succinct and alarmingly (or not, depending on your disposition) accurate. Deafheaven had to be here, probably at #1 |
ArsMoriendi
10.19.21 | If New Hiatus Kaiyote is comparable to modern wank prog, than they're the best at it, but also fuck that notion haha |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.19.21 | The sink is full of wank and dead tissues
And dhvn could be as high as 3, but the top two are hopefully uncrackable (unless the rest of the year backfires badly) |
GhandhiLion
10.19.21 | Accessible pleb filter? That's coldplay |
SteakByrnes
10.19.21 | glow on rules agreed |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.19.21 | stop listening to that dad rock trash, coldplay have dropped a new pleb filter |
Mort.
10.19.21 | Looooool the reception to wolf Alice has always been emberassing, band is decent at best but UK publications especially act like they're fucking revolutionary . Pure nme bait |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.19.21 | they're no dry cleaning amirite |
SteakByrnes
10.19.21 | wolf alice was nothing special |
Mort.
10.19.21 | The post-brexit core wave has been extremely underwhelming agreed |
Demon of the Fall
10.19.21 | what mort said, perhaps |
Sowing
10.19.21 | This was actually a really entertaining read. Nice job lol. |
DoofDoof
10.19.21 | I swear Johnny 5'd half of these |
BlushfulHippocrene
10.19.21 | I am Zoomer; this list is top-tier; where would new LUM fit? Thanks. |
Demon of the Fall
10.19.21 | list is ranked in increasing order of *embarrassment* not quality you have been informed ! |
nightbringer
10.19.21 | Where is the cut off point between zoomer and young millennial? |
DoofDoof
10.19.21 | Ulver and Trophy Scars are higher cringe maybe? |
alamo
10.19.21 | 35 in fact doesnt suck |
dedex
10.19.21 | > where would new LUM fit? Thanks.
Blush wiff da real question |
Sabrutin
10.19.21 | 65 aoty maybe |
Atari
10.19.21 | Musk Ox and Tenhi really aren't that similar at all lol. the Skyrim comparison had more merit than that ;) |
rabidfish
10.19.21 | there was a new hayley williams?
damn, didn't even notice. |
SlothcoreSam
10.19.21 | Nice list, but you really need to add the new Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! album to this list.
That thing is the cringiest piece of shit I've heard all year. Plus, their name is the worst! |
garas
10.19.21 | @Atari: I tried my best! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
granitenotebook
10.19.21 | Given that there are no zoomers in Sput staff to begin with,
speak for yourself
also #2 is aoty |
porcupinetheater
10.19.21 | The Killers hovering right on the threshold of top 15 without going either way is some disturbingly insidious Machiavellian bullshit, and don’t try and tell me 15 is an arbitrarily selected entry point so I have an excuse to continue shittalking that album |
loveisamixtape
10.19.21 | ironically 1 is prob the best here (no thanks to u) I expected an actually cringe 1 |
Aberf
10.19.21 | 2 is good. |
Winesburgohio
10.19.21 | ive come around and decided it's important for the sites reputation to BNM Lorde |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.19.21 | SHAME upon loveisamixtape *shame*shame*shame*
porcbby ur fairly correct observation is mainly a reflection of how i have listened to that killers record precisely 1 Time plz give me patience
and idk how much hope there is for Lawde but i am down to lvl her up if there is a movement ! |
Snake.
10.20.21 | "it was a long pandemic i ate all my weed brownies and learned to play the drums why am i not happy yet"
amazing |
LeddSledd
10.20.21 | great list
garas' blurb about Infinite Granite is spot-fucking-on |
quetzal
10.20.21 | musk ox and tenhi aren't that similar but tenhi is approximately a hundred times better so... |
quetzal
10.20.21 | krallice fuckin rules my dude |
Pangea
10.20.21 | "musk ox and tenhi aren't that similar but tenhi is approximately a hundred times better so..."
agreed and agreed |
Demon of the Fall
10.20.21 | I haven't heard most of these, but if 62 isn't the best thing here I'd be very surprised. |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.20.21 | 65, 63, 56 and 51 are all better but yh that's a scorcher thru and thru |
Demon of the Fall
10.20.21 | Isosausagecane, Papangu, Sweet Trip, Cult of Luna, Ad Nauseam are all good mind. Manchester Orchestra too, for the highs. |
Demon of the Fall
10.20.21 | I didn't enjoy 65. |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.20.21 | Accessible pleb filter of the year
|
Demon of the Fall
10.20.21 | Does that mean it's accessible or that you're a pleb because you only like 'accessible' music? Some clarity on this point would be welcome.
I'm pretty sure you rec'd me that thinking I would dig... so your fault I guess? |
CottonSalad
10.20.21 | Krallice is 1, yeah (I refuse to understand the ranking system any other way).
New JPEG this Friday tho! |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.20.21 | it is accessible because it has beats and easily one of the best vocal performances of the yr it is a pleb filter because it has everything else if that is too much you have been filtered i had faith in you |
Havey
10.20.21 | "accessible pleb filter"
woah the casual music listeners just dropped a new mental gymnastic |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.20.21 | you don't understand maths mum |
DoofDoof
10.20.21 | Krallice - who the fuck is Krallice |
CottonSalad
10.20.21 | Also true |
Atari
10.20.21 | "but tenhi is approximately a hundred times better so.."
Tenhi are better than any band to ever grace that genre what's new.. doesn't change the fact that Musk Ox are the tits. I'm also just kinda pissed at Tenhi for taking a lifetime to release the new album they promised years ago |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.20.21 | if musk ox played more classical drone and stopped catering to riff rehab maybe they would be good idk |
loveisamixtape
10.20.21 | i think you would actually like 59 |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.20.21 | 59 and 58 are defs the two i wanna check the most |
Mort.
10.20.21 | Ooh Johnny Johnny Johnny there is time for tears
Ooh Johnny Johnny Johnny you won't make it any better
Ooh Johnny Johnny Johnny you might well make it worse
Ooh Johnny Johnny Johnny I advise you to forget her
|
dedex
10.20.21 | 58 fuckz ahrd yeah |
neekafat
10.20.21 | Fantastic content, fuck you |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.21.21 | The works that influence this project are unapologetic and in your face but not derivative or lazy. This album probably would not exist without the greats of the discography the 1980s - 2010s J-pop, synth-pop, underground electronic music, RnB, and house, but none of those same people could have made what Magdalena Bay has.
|
LeddSledd
10.21.21 | "if musk ox played more classical drone and stopped catering to riff rehab maybe they would be good idk"
riff rehab lmao |
LeddSledd
10.21.21 | also czech 58 very hard |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.21.21 | Well you got the first half of the title correct |
Demon of the Fall
10.21.21 | Hang on re Trophy Scars...
post-hardcore / blues / experimental
rec by reviewer: 'An Evil Heat'
assumed they were some whiny indie/mid-west emo bobbins by the name. |
garas
10.21.21 | > garas' blurb about Infinite Granite is spot-fucking-on
These kind of feedbacks worth more than anything. Thank you, my dude! |
nightbringer
10.21.21 | Demon, get on that Trophy Scars album! |
Demon of the Fall
10.22.21 | well yes, I was very much considering it based on the genre tags/Oxbow nod. |
Demon of the Fall
10.22.21 | also petition to add some of this week's releases please, I want to see how Cradle of Filth / Every Time I Die stack up! |
dedex
10.22.21 | Grouper ftw |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.22.21 | trophy scars sound nothing like oxbow beyond fucking with blues liberally btw but the new one is good
and i'm only adding stuff that actually hits bnm here except that's a lie bc it's not getting updated rip |
GhandhiLion
10.22.21 | Yeah oxbow are really good |
Demon of the Fall
10.22.21 | I predict both my requests will make it in at some point, adding them now will only save time. Hoping for a predictably 'high' ranking for them both.
Well you did put 'An Evil Heat' in your rec by reviewer section did you not? Are you trying to deceive? Either way it got my attention and now I'm gonna check, so job done I suppose. |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.22.21 | yes as a recommended album for trophy scars fans - not a ffo, big big difference boi
and i have no idea if there's anyone on staff who cares about CoF but uh bet mmm |
Demon of the Fall
10.22.21 | We'll see Johnny, I shall be holding you accountable if TS aren't up to snuff.
I imagine there will be, there's certainly a couple of guys I have in mind.
|
GhandhiLion
10.23.21 | big big difference 100% |
RedRightHand
11.04.21 | These ironic shenans are the REAL cringe. |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.04.21 | wow you gottem mr vigilante
now hand over your passport or i'll blow your fucken face off |
